1991
The name of the vehicle Poliscar comes from the same root as the Latin politia and the Greek polis, or city. A vehicle proposed for the homeless, the Poliscar can be used as a dwelling place and a communications medium. Equipped with a video camera and a video/player recorder, the Poliscar is also outfitted with a video monitor CB radio, an optional microvawe video link, a loudspeaker and a surveillance camera which is conneted to an additional monitor inside the vehicle. The Poliscar will establish links between various encampments of the homeless, forming new social ties and leading to greater intercommunity and urban organization for this emerging constituency.
